QUEER BEDFELLOWs" AGAIN.

Editor Register We read with inter-
est the explanation of your correspond
ent "N," which did not explain. Grant
that the principle of prohibition with re-
ference to everything that is wrong is
the true and only defensible principle.
We have not the least disposition to deny
that. On the cOntrary,we affirm it. We
do not believe in license at all. We hold
to the doctrine of doing right always
and everywhere as a fundamental doc
trine. Believing and holding this, and
understanding that prodibitiopists of a
certain class, of whom we take ''N'' to be
one, believe and hold in similar way,
we simply ask how men of such high
views, on such good and noble princi-
pie, principle that repudiates and dis
own the bad in toto, happen to be so
foIgetful of themselves and of their grand
principle as to go to bed with men who
thoroughly believe in the manufacture
and sale as well as free drinking of in
toXicating liquors of all sorts. What is
gained by fighting measles or scarlet
fever and locking arms with and hugging
smallpox? Why kick the domestic cat
if she will scratch and injure, and en-
brace the tiger? Prohibition ought to
prohibit bad alliances and bad fellowship
of every sort. Bad men should be as
much prohibited as bad business or bad
drinks. Bad men are worse then bad
animals or bad diseases.
an" after quoting "Henry Wilson,
Horace Greeley, Gladstone, DIR. j. NJ.
Buckley and even the Emperor of China
as being in favor of prohibition as against
license, did not tell us how the New York
prohibitionists with the help of their
new-found friends expected to secure the
enactment of prohibitory law in the
cities of New York and Brooklyn. Can
it be that this last and most conspicuous
hug of bad men with very bad principles
by men of virtue is likely to result in a
change of character of the bad men
Will smallpox now disown its pustules
and will all flesh become clean? Will
the vicious tiger surely become domes-
tic pussy and let the prohibitionists
smooth her fur? If the prohibitory prin-
ciple is to get its embodiment in prohibi-
tory legislation and that legislation is to
realize true enforcement in that particu-

The VERMONT HORSE BREEDERS.

A meeting of the executive committee
of the Vermont Horse Breeders associa-
ton was to have been held yesterday af-
ternoon at the Bates House, but on ac-
count of the small attendance the meet

to meet at the Van Ness in Burlington.
There were present yesterday only Pres

'Brownell of Burlington and Messrs. Bax-

THE CHOLERA IN SOUTH AMERICA.

The latest papers received from
BuenOs Ayres contain accounts of fear
full ravages of cholera in that country.
AT Mendoza, not far from the capital.
there had been. up to the date of the
latest returns, over 800 daily cases in
the city and outlying districts. The dis
ease seems to have penetrated to the
country and to be quite general. The
authorities adopted vigorous measures
and succeeded in stopping the plague to
some extent.

OuRIlSHERS' NOTlCE.

Beginning on the first day of April next, we
shall require that all subscriptions to the REG
IsTER be paid in advance. ON that date all
papers not paid in advance will be discontin
ued, and thereafter papers will be stopped
when the time paid for has expired.
We have tried the other plan faithfully, and
are forced to the conclusion that ii is not the
right way. About one-half OF our subScri-
bers do pay in advance The remaining half
whose subscriptions represent the proht "t
the business and II great deal more pay only
when they have been asked half Il dozen
times, and perhaps not then 1t costs more
than it comes to to collect their subscriptions
The amounts are small, but, in the aggrc-
gate, stand tor n considerable sum, which we
are entitled to and ought to have Most OF
this money due is in the hands of responsible
persons, and yet ii is out of our control ana Is
of no use to meet our bills. 1t may be paid
sometime, but in the meanwhile we must let
our creditors suffer or borrow money to pay
them and pay interest on it.
Every paper sent out of an Office costs
money. The employees of the office must be
paid weekly the paper bills monthly. Any
one can readily see that when II subscription
runs for II year or more we are lending the
subscriber so much cash. It is an unbusiness-
Ike way of doing business: and we are sure
that our friends will see it in that light and
checrfully fall in with the arrangement, the
proprcty of which is so obvious.
We shall send every subscriber a statement
of account very soon, in order that there may
be no misunderstanding; and perhaps il may
be found best to publish Il list of those iarth
est in arrears, to whom bills have been re-
peatedly sent without result. Some of them
may not have received notice who can thus be

SENATOR EDMUNDs ON THE DEPENDENT
PENSION BILL

The recipient hands us the following
letter for publication, in order that the
veterans may understand Senator Ed
munds' position, about which some of
them seem to have been misinformed.
Col. Tracy was the chairman of the COM
mittee of Russell post that drew up the
resolutions recently published, and as
Col. Tracy is a personal friend of the
Senator, the latter wrote to him to ac-
knowledge their receipt, saying:
SENATE CHAMBER, WASHINGTON, |
Feb 2l, 1887.
M Dear ColOnel Il have the resolu-
tions of your post on the subject of the
dependent pension bill. | voted for it,
or was paired for it, do not remember
which, when it was under consideration
by the Senate. think it clear-especial-
ly after we have passed the Mexican
pension bill for everybody, mostly in
the South and mostly formerly rebels
that we ought to provide for taking care
of any of the Uuion soldiers in the war
of the rebellion who need it. The origi-
nal bill was carefully drawn to make the
proper determinations, and would have
been almost within the suggestions made
by the President in his veto message.
There are some serious objections to the
bill that passed and was vetoed, but still,
so far as now understand it, | should
vote, if the bill comes to us, to pass it
over the Pesident's veto, and hope to rec
tify imperfections afterward, rather than
to leave our destitute soldiers waiting for
further legislation.

like many other orators, ,his feelings some
times ran away with his judgment,
and to this tendency may probably be
ascribed the mistakes which in one way
and another marred his life. But, after
all, he was man of immense force, noble

his errors, the world is better for his

A NocALEs dispatch of the 30th ult., says a report was brought into this place to-day to the effect that terrible fight had taken place be- tween national troops and revolu- tionists in the State of Sinaloa, Mexico, and that several hundred had been killed on both sides. Prominent Mexican citizens and officials here discredit the report, and express the belief that it re- suited from the report of a battle a few days ago between the Ayexi- cans and Yaqui Indians. 1t is known that there is great uneasi- ness in Mexican political circles, but no absolute formidable army of revolutionists has yet been organ ized.

IT seems that we may hone for q hearty response from the cattle as- sOciations of Arizona, in the de- mand for cooperation and union for the protection of the cattle in tcrest. In several of the counties meetings of the cattle men have been signalized by resolutions and outspoken sentiments, proclaiming boldly wrongs and existing ills, and advising concert, dclibcratinn and adoption of measures of relief. We hope the subject will continue to be agitatcd, until acting as a single individual, the numerous and pow crful cattle associations of the west will make their rights known and respected by every pooling ring and syndicate in the land. Keep up the good work and never cease until the day of redemption is at hand.

TIE Kansas City Live Stock In dicator thus refers to a proposed new departure on the part of one of its most reliable and energetic firms: Irwin, Allen dG Co. have made arrangements for the pur- chase of 5000 acres of land in Ari- zona, most of it being now we'll set in alfalfa, on which they will estab- fish hog ranch, with l ,000 breed ing sows. Arizona is regarded by them as the best hog breeding country in the United States. Sows they say raise there from nine to twelve pigs each and lose none of them, and Irwin, Allen & Co. mean to take advantage Of the opportun- ities and embark in that business.
